My fiancė had this plastic vending machine ring from his younger brother and our about 4 or 5 month old turkey (Claire) was playing with it and swallowed it. Will she be alright?

Here is a photo of her from last month:


Please help us. My fiancė and I are freaking out. We already lost one turkey to blackhead disease, we don't want to lose her as well.

A ring is not all that big for a turkey. They eat acorns and other large nuts, they'll swallow anything they can fit in their mouth. I wouldn't think twice about it.
 
Uhhh...I don't know. I guess I'd keep an eye on her to see if she passes it....

Highly unlikely that a plastic ring would survive the gizzard intact. There should not be anything to be found in the excrement. In the unlikely case that it is not ground down fine in the gizzard, it would remain there just like larger pebbles to aid in the grinding.
